He contrasted the situation with the comfort many Americans experience during their daily life. The NFL fine was imposed due to league rules against unapproved wording on players' equipment, not specifically to the pro-Palestinian content of the tribute. Al-Shamair has previously used his eye black to draw attention to Palestinians before, and was fined last season for displaying "stop the genocide" during a wild-card victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
